The project's goal is to verify infrastructure compliance, from the perspective of a Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`). The Project's scope is the development of a test framework, *Yardstick*, test cases and test stimuli to enable Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (:term:`NFVI`) verification. The Project also includes a sample :term:`VNF`, the Virtual Traffic Classifier (:term:`VTC`) and its experimental framework, *ApexLake* ! *Yardstick* is used in OPNFV for verifying the OPNFV infrastructure and some of the OPNFV features. The *Yardstick* framework is deployed in several OPNFV community labs. It is *installer*, *infrastructure* and *application* independent. .. seealso:: Pharos_ for information on OPNFV community labs and this Presentation_ for an overview of *Yardstick* About This Document =================== This document consists of the following chapters: * Chapter :doc:`02-methodology` describes the methodology implemented by the Yardstick Project for :term:`NFVI` verification. * Chapter :doc:`architecture` provides information on the software architecture of yardstick. * Chapter :doc:`04-vtc-overview` provides information on the :term:`VTC`. * Chapter :doc:`apexlake_installation` provides instructions to install the experimental framework *ApexLake* and chapter :doc:`apexlake_api` explains how this framework is integrated in *Yardstick*. * Chapter :doc:`03-installation` provides instructions to install *Yardstick*. * Chapter :doc:`03-list-of-tcs` includes a list of available Yardstick test cases.
